An Intimate History of Humanity by Theodore Zeldin
An Intimate History of Humanity is not a traditional history book. Time is not measured by centuries, governments or wars. Instead, Theodore Zeldin looks at the ways in which the attitudes and behaviors of a person of today are formed by those of people who lived generations ago.
Using the example of contemporary individuals, Zeldin demonstrates how people can improve their lives by revisiting the way they look at their own personal histories, along with the shared experiences of humankind. He says "To have a new vision of the future, it has always first been necessary to have a new vision of the past.""A courageous, often profound, and extraordinary attempt by one of England's best historians to cut through the pessimism and parochialism of the profession and to find the bond of humanity." -- Kirkus Reviews| SKU | Unavailable |
